Located in the Big Piney Ranger District in the Ozark National Forest, Hamilton Falls is one of three waterfalls in the Richland Creek Wilderness Area that offer stunning scenic spots after good rains. Situated further up the Big Devil's Creek drainage from the Twin Falls, Hamilton Falls empties into a lovely tranquil pool surrounded by large boulders. A relatively strenuous 6-mile hike reaches the three waterfalls, namely the Richland, Twin, and Hamilton Falls, with a steep elevation that takes between 3 and 4 hours to complete, there and back. During the rainy season, the Ozark National Forest is filled with streams of swiftly flowing water, so be cautious when crossing brooks and creeks.
